FEEDBACK POLICY - I have a buyer-first feedback policy, and have written a guide http://reviews.ebay.com/Understanding-Feedback-Policies to help explain exactly why I made the change from going first to going second.

STORE LISTINGS - Ebay changed the stores setup in ways that especially affect the way many smaller sellers here like myself can do business. I will not be able to offer nearly as wide of a range of unique items, as those items often need to wait for the right buyer to see them and the cost of my letting them sit and wait has been dramatically increased. 

PRIVATE/PUBLIC LISTINGS - I never used to list my auctions as private, but the changes to how items are displayed in feedback has made it necessary. Almost all store (BIN) items are private. Regular auctions (bidding ones will vary because some buyers prefer private and others prefer public. All auctions will clearly state whether they are public or private.

PRICING - I am still a pretty small fish overall, and do not have the exposure it takes to bring in hundreds of viewers and dozens of bidders on every listing. So each time I list anything for regular auction, I have to assume it may well sell at a loss for me, sometimes not even what the supplies cost me. I have to list it at a low starting bid because I need someone within that week span to decide maybe they want a polka-dotted flogger. So, my best items will hardly ever go on regular auction and items that do go up for regular auction and do not sell will go back into store inventory at a higher price - putting up regular auctions is in effect putting them on sale. I understand that to a buyer it looks odd 'that polka dotted flogger didn't sell for $24, why is she putting it in her store for $40?' but in the store, I am now able to wait for someone who really wants and appreciates that specific creation. And, once that item is back in the store, that means something else is now up for regular auction (on sale)!
